During 1981 the archaeologists' work on the Mary Rose reached a new climax and the Mary Rose Trust's plans to raise the hull were finalised at last. The Trust is responsible for a part of our national heritage, in bringing to the surface what is left of the oldest English battleship. Chronicle reports on the Trust's progress from January 1981 until now. The Chronicle team will be back in the Solent for the lifting in September. Re-aired 9 October 1982
